Given the importance of recognising faces, the focus of the present thesis is the examination of how perceiver knowledge, or expertise with faces, may influence the processes being used. Specifically, this thesis addresses the issue of whether all faces are processed in the same way, or whether qualitative differences exist in the processing of familiar over unfamiliar faces. An examination of the empirical findings in this area lead to the construction of three hypotheses, each of which was supported by previous research within the field. The first hypothesis was based on the notion that processing of familiar faces is reliant on expert strategies such as configural processing, and that such strategies are disrupted by various stimulus m...
